US military drops largest non-nuclear bomb in history over Afghanistan



The US military dropped the Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, also known as the “mother of all bombs” or MOAB, in northeastern Afghanistan targeting Islamic State in the area. Weighing more than 21,000 pounds the bomb is the most powerful non-nuclear munition at the United States’ disposal. The historic military action comes after a week of increased rhetoric from the Trump administration. RT America’s Alexey Yaroshevsky reports.

  1. You fucking trump. Don't care humans kids or ant lives
  2. The United States of America is going to attack North Korea.I'm afraid it's the beginning of a THIRD WORLD WAR !!!!!!!
  3. Failed U.S Army soldiers could'nt fight the terrorists and dropped a bomb in a panic. Looks like they r in a hurry in Afghanistan.
  4. Greatest in size but not results. Vietnam was a total embarrassment . Taliban and ISIS still exist even though they have 0000000000.1% size of American military. Only time we win is when we spend millions to bomb a mountain or a soft target like Assad with a sucker punch. Let's face it our military is the biggest in the world and we still can't compete.
  5. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
  6. That's just a little taste
  7. Its hilarious Trump isn't Putins boy as he had naively hoped. I had some respect for Putins intellect but his misjudgement regards Trump, based on a childish dislike of Secretary Clinton puts him into the dumbass category forever.
  8. how about you report the truth about russian violation of international rules by annexing crimea from ukraine "ILLEGALLY". FYI improve your english.
  9. How about drop that on Washington DC
  10. 85 percent of Iraqis and 82 percent of Syrians believe the US created ISIS. In Europe whe know it, With NYT publishing columns agreeing this, it's no wonder.'....Americans are killing as never
  11. Should have dropped trump in place of the mother bomb....
  12. Is there any FOAB too????????????????? Good, keep it up USA. Make all human being extinct on this planet.
  13. $300,000,000 million bomb to kill 30 ISIS?
    One ISIS life cost Americans tax payer nearly $10 million.
    But I think it's worth spending if it diverts attention from trouble at Home.
  14. If you want to get technical, only 25 killstreak is required to drop a MOAB.
  15. The record for Mother Of All Bombs is USSR, Tsar bomb, I think it was 57 megaton. Its test on 30 October 1961 remains the most powerful man-made explosion in history.
  16. Rex Tillerson just gave all the reasons America must be taken down guilty on all counts
  17. did you hear? now n.korea wants to test a nuclear bomb on us (u.s.a) and china is warning korea not only that but Russia and n.korea is on our ass all because of trump
  18. rt sounding like CNN why are you pushing your owned narrative. your judging Trump not reporting it
